Indignation Echoes.

From the Glocke, German Catholic Weekly
The scenes which lately occurred in the Legis-
lature of Indiana were disgusting to say tho
least of it. The brutal manner in which the
elected Lieutenant governor was again and again
denied his RICH. and refused possession of his
Office, was not only unconstitutional but dis
play of rowdisn and rufiiansm. These are iu-
deed, very dark spots in the record of our present
Legislature, and will not create any sympathy
from respectable citizens.
If the well-expressed will Of the people would
have been respected and obeved then the Dem
ocrats would have deserved honor and credit
But as it is their conduct acts like an emetic on
American citizens. There is mt doubt but that
the very questionable manipulations of some Of
the fighting cocks will drive many good and re-
spectacle citizens into the Republican camp.
Our paper did not support in the last election.
Lieutenant governor Robertson. but the people
have spoken and elected him. and the peoples
voice most be respected. 1t would reflect more
honor on the State, and would also be future
guaranty against frauds in elections

demand for the chair A scene of great ex-
element followed, ending in the Lieutenant
governor being thrown down the steps and
violently put out of the chamber The
House passed resolution reciting the facts
and refusing to have or to hold any official
communication with the Senate until it should
recognize the legally and constitutionally
elected Acknowledgements With this COM
menced deadlock between the two houses,
which lasted till the end of the session, the
Republicans standing for the recognition of
the Acknowledgements elected by the peo-
ple and the Democrats for usurper.
These are the main facts in the case. The
course of the revolutionists has been marked
by many arbitrary and outrageous acts but
a recital of these is not necessary to an I'M
Outstanding of the case. This plain state
ment of facts shows how the revolution orig
mated, how it progressed. and where the re-
sponsibility rests.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-03-08

SENATOR DUNCAN makes a very clear state
His recognition" consisted in accepting a
warrant that had been drawn for him and
signed by Smith before it reached him, but
which he afterwards had signed by Lieuten-
ant-governor Robertson for the purpose of ex-
pressing his reputation of the usurper. If
Green Smith is depending on Republican
recognition" Of his revolution and usurpa-
ton he will be very badly left.

THE President wants it understood that he
has a tender side for such offenders as the
polygamous old reprobate Joseph Evans,
whom he has just pardoned out of the peni-
tertiary. This anxiety to set himself right
with the Mormons will confirm the impression
created some time since, that Mr.. Cleyeland's
code of morality includes that celebrated
mugwump precept formulated by the New
York Evening Post, and which is to the eff
feet that chastity is one of the minor
yirtues

OUR correspondent, "E G. H." from Dan
vile, very completely exposes the absurdity of
the position of the News az to the ode facto"
nature of Green Smiths title while acknowledge
ing the de jure nature of Lieutenant governor
Robertson's. The Republican ground as
stated and repeated by the Journal, has always
been that when Lieutenant governor Robert
son was relieved from the injunction, and APP
peared in the Senate to assume the presidency
of the body in accordance with the Constitu-
ton, the de facto title of Green Smith ceased.
Since then the Senate has not been legal
Senate, but the Democratic mem
bers have been in state of
rebellion. There can be nothing
clearer than this, and upon that question the
Republicans are perfectly willing and anxious
to go to the people. 1t is question Of gov
eminent. If elections are not to be recog-
nized, and their results, if challenged, are
not to be contested according to the Con-
stitution and the law, then there is an end
of constitutional government The people
Gaze more for their government than they do
for loan bill, or an appropriation bill, or
any other and all kinds of bills The GOV
eminent is the first thing, and that is the
first question to be settled. Are Democratic
State Senators to obey the Constitution and

A LETTER from one of the leading Repub-
lcans of the central part Of the State says
''The Journal is both right and unsurpassed
in ability, and is growing in the affections of
the people," We are much obliged to our
friends everywhere for their kind expressions
of confidence. They come from all quarters,
and, what is to the point the books of the
subscription clerk show the popular approval.
Now is the time to subscribe.

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

In the selection of the commissioners to
erect the soldiers and sailors monument the
Governor and the other State officers have a
very delicate and important trust, and their
action in the premises will be awaited with
much interest. With the means placed at the
disposal of the commission, magnificent
monument may be produced, which will fifty
commemorate the patriotism and sacrifice of
same time illustrate and teach the highest art
of our time and civilization.
The people of this city and all the citizens
of the State are interested in having the con-
struction of this permanent memorial placed
in such hands that there shall be no want of
confidence as to the result. There should be
no haste in making the appointments, and
none but the highest and most disinterested
considerations should move the appoint
ing power. If mere politicians or
any other than men of the
first-class be chosen, there will be great ard
welljustifed disappointment. The officers
responsible for the composition of the com
mission should not feel themselves confined
to choice from those who may apply for APP
pointment, nor should they be influenced by
the opportunities Of applicants or their friends.
Many of the most capable and most worthy
men will not seek the position, who yet would
way that it could be esteemed real honor. 1t
is case wherein personal friendships and
| mere partisan. considerations should be waived.
and in which position effort should be made to
seek out and obtain the best men for the spe-
cial service to be performed.

The Democratic scoundrels in charge of
the Senate records had not the hardihood to
falsify the journal respecting the vote on SEN
ator Sellers's license bill. When the journal
was read yesterday it showed the truth, and
that the bill did not pass, despite Green
Smiths bold and impudent lie ON Saturday
that it did. The scoundrels were willing TO
commit forgery upon the official records of
the Senate, but they were too cowardly.

On Gov. Isaac P. Gray, more than any
other one man, rests the responsibility for
the present disgraceful condition of affairs in
this State. The administration of affairs
during his term thus far has been honey
combed with corruption and disgraced with
partisan infamies of the blacklist kind And
he has never lifted finger to prevent this
state of things
